Board of directors " " T he need is great. I've spent 16 years providing good, nutritious, hot meals at MACC. I am glad to help people. For some, it the only meal of the day. It is also nice to see people no longer need the soup kitchen. I'm very fortunate to be able to meet people who need a meal, serve the community and work with volunteers. It's all together, like a big family. I'm proud of it. – carmen matos , Community Kitchen Coordinator (1998-2014) volunteers help prepare a lunch meal for the MaCC Community Kitchen.
